55There are a variety of different spaces to explore here—including woods, long driveway (gravel) and some spaces with tall grass. Our dogs have recall but are not always the best at listening. This was a great place to get some off leash and recall training. No distractions other than a few deer (and other little critters). Hannah N.

55Amazing Sniffspot, we would absolutely return. We parked at the entrance gate and walked up the driveway, easily took up the full hour. We saw deer and turkeys, Obi doesn't have a strong prey drive, but good to know if your dog does! Absolutely gorgeous and clean spot.Lauren T.

55Our pups loved their visit- they were able to venture into the woods as well as walk along the lonnnnnng drive smelling everything as they went! As we pulled out of the driveway at the end of our time, both dogs were already fast asleep! Thank you for allowing us to explore your "yard"! J L.

55This place is gorgeous and a perfect place to work on recall with your dog. It’s on the side of a mountain, which makes for gorgeous hikes, but definitely bring water because either on the way out or the way back, you’re going uphill! Beth P.

55The boys had a great time!! Perfect place for the old man to walk along the gravel and be more steady while the pup ran through the woods. My old guy even found enough energy to check the woods out for a bit. Absolutely beautiful, secluded and so peaceful! Michelle S.

55Wonderful spot! Exactly what I wanted - lots of space to roam and nothing else around. My little girl had a blast running through the snow practicing recalls and staying near me. Definitely will be back. Cambria V.

55What a great Sniffspot! A friend and I took our dogs for a few hours, and we, and they, had the most wonderful time. We parked up by the camper trailer, hiked the mountain a little, then walked back down the entrance road a few hundred meters. On either side were wide, mowed meadows - perfect for running off-leash. We didn't see any wildlife, but we did come across a nice stream the dogs enjoyed. Will definitely go back!Tracy W.

55This place is our new favorite! It really puts the sniff in Sniffspot. My pup prefers hikes and off trail adventures over fetch, and she loved this spot and did not want to leave. We look forward to visiting again soon! Thank you so much for hosting and for the great directions to find your place!Kellyn M.

55Good spot! We parked at the top of the driveway. Walked down and up the driveway, walked over to the little creek and explored in the woods. Not much for trails in the woods and the walking is steep, but my dog loved running around in the woods the most.Maya W.

55Had an awesome time here! The space was very big for our dog to roam around in. He loves stomping around in water so the creek was great for him. The owner was very accommodating when we told him that our dog is reactive and would react if he approached us. Altogether a great spot, I expect we will be visiting again!Diana R.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines.

How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?

If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
